SALT IN BUTTER.
An Opinion Which. Though Generally En-
tertained, Is Erroneous.


1t is probably general belief, even
among dairymen, that salt used in the
manufacture of butter contributes to
its keeping. This is certainly the opin-
ion among consumers, and many
writers on dairy subjects express the
same idea. Nevertheless difficult as
it will be to change the current of
opinion in regard to this mattey), the
fact is, that the salt used in making
butter is of no avail as a preventative.
In most cases it has been proved to
have exactly the opposite effect.
Absolutely pure fats and oils, wheth-
er of vegetable or animal origin, are
very stable in their composition at mod
crate temperature, and absolutely UNI
changeable at such temperatures when
air is excluded. But butter is very far
from being pure fat, as ordinarily
made. There is, in fact, no way OF
making it such, except by means which
tend greatly to impair its value
for ordinary table use. The adj
mixture to some extent of
the easily decomposable elements
Of milk with butter, is unavoidable by
any process of manufacture known. or
likely to become known. This being the
case, fine table butter viii always be a
perishable article, never better than
when new, and soon parting with the
qualities to which its highest excellence
is due. The addition of salt to it will
in no wise retard its depreciation, but
will, on the contrary, conduce to it,
though in lessening degree proper
toned to the exclusion of contaminat-
ing matters from the milk in its manu-
facture. Low temperature will pro-
long the life of butter, while the exclu-
sion of air will secure it from, putres-
cent changes indefinitely. Qualification
by melting, conjoined with hermetical
sealing, will preserve the sweetness OF
butter, but with the loss of its deli
cate qualities. This is, however,
the only practicable method for ship
use on long voyages, or for export to
tropical climates.
Unquestionably the most practicable
way of preserving butter for family use
is submergence in brine made of pure
salt and water. If kept in cool place,
this secures the two conditions of low
temperature and exclusion of air. The
use of the salt in this case is not to
preserve the butter, but to keep the
water sweet, for perfectly pure and
cold water will keep butter as well
without salt as with it. This has been
conclusively proved by finding butter
crooks lost in deep well, the contents
of which, after years of submersion,
were perfectly sweet.
No one who has ever melted butter
is unaware of the large amount of for
eign matter in even the best samples
When this is removed, butter will keel
better than oleomargarine. but this il
done only at the sacrifice of the ex
tremely volatile and changeable flavor
ing matters which give to new buttel
its peculiar delicate richness, and vet
by very slight changes, are the chic
element in the abominable ranknes

SHE STOLE MY HEART AWAY.

i saw her coming down the stair,
A form Of youthful grace:
She had the freshness Of the morn,
Its sunshine on her face;
She was SO sweet, she was so neat,
So gentle and so gay,
What could dot For ere knew,
She stole my heart away.
She stole my heart, know not how;
One moment II was mine,
The next was hers, and yet she made
OF victory no sign;
But step by step came down the stair
To meet me with smile:
How could little simple maid
wise man SO beguilef
talked Of this; talked OF that;
knew not what said;
only saw her besming eyes,
Her lovely lips so red,
Her soft browp hair, her rosy cheeks,
Her steps SO light and gay;
lonly know the witching hour
She stole my heart away.
Invent TO seek it day by day;
But soon twas very plain
That never more my truant heart
Would come TO me again;
1t loved the darling little maid,
With her preferred TO stay;
1t lovedthe darling little maid
That stole my heart away.
So then said: my charming girl,
We can this loss arrange;
AS you have stoTn my heart away
Yours give me in exchange;
So to my happy home she came,
A wife, but yesterday;
And brought with her own loving heart
The heart she stole away.

fhs Persistent and Practical Gratitude OF
an Eastern Marble Cutter.
detroit Free Press.l
There is quaint story, illustrative OF
gratitude, to the effect that an old negro
who had been cured Of yellow foyer by
prominent doctor tried to devise some way
to pay the debt he owed. He could think
of but one. He owned nothing In the world
but an old cracked flute, upon which he
could play a number Of cracked tunes.
With this under his arm, he approached
the DOCTORS residence at nightfall, ara
seating himself astride the gate-post, be-
gan to play When he reached the end OF
his melodies he began them all over again.
In vain the doctor appealed to him and the
peighbors threatened. He did not stop
to hear them. He came there to play.
and play he did, until the distracted
neighborhood would have cheerfully TAX
en- its chances with the fever, and not un-
til daylight did he relinquish his post with
the comfortable feeling that he had done
the best he could TO express his gratitude.
The doctor admitted that it was the lsrg-
est fee he had ever been paid.
The late Judge Eastman, OF Roslyn, N.
Y, who was the lifelong friend and
neihbor of William Cullen Bryant; once
gained an important suit for marble cut
ter, who, as token of his gratitude
wished to pay double the regular fee
Tkis was not accepted, and he departed
profuse with thanks. Judge Eastman
thought no more of the matter, but in a
few weeks large and heavy box came
to his address prepaid. He wondered
IL hot mi rib
When 1t was opened d hand.
some marble hitching post presented it
self The Judge was much pleased, and
wrote a letter of thanks and acceptance to
the marble-cutter.
Months passed, and second box came.
This contained marble stepping stone,
with name deity carved, and the Judge
wrote second letter of thanks.
Quite long period elapsed before an
ether, and this time very large box ar
rived, containing terrace flight Of mar.
BILE stairs. These were placed in desir'
able place in the lawn, and Judge East
man again wrote to his grateful client.
| He thanked him for the latest and most
valuable accession, and said loosely he
could not think Of another article Of
marble he needed, unless 1t should be a
church.
| Six months passed and the largest box
ever received at Roslyn was consigned to
Judge Eastman. He imagined that this
time the marble yard itself had arrived
but it was only the very thing he had sug
gested-a church-the perfect model in
miniature of an elegant modern church
1t was long one Of the attractive orna
ments of the Judges GROUNDS, and is very
! likely there at this writing, although the
good Judge has gone the way of all the
earth.

There is no verdict in the Isaacs murder case

o'clock quite a crowd had congregated in the
courthouse corridors. Neither the attorneys

was word from the jury the crowd did not re-
main long. At o'clock Judge Irwin came
down. The jury was notified of his presence,
but they sent word down that they had not
agreed upon a report. and, after giving notice
that he would not come down until Monday
morning. unless sent for, he returned home.
The jury dined at the Circle House at O'Clock
last night, and at s o'clock were locked in their
room for another night There is an intimaton
that they stand eleven for acauittal and one for
conviction, with little hope Of bringing over the

There is sensational renort out that one Of
the jurors made the remark several weeks ago
that Isaacs should be hung. A member of the
Metropolitan police force says the remark was
